Context of Exodus 16:32
30So the people rested on the seventh day. 31Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” 33So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.” 34And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-36Verses 32-36 God having provided manna to be his people's food in the wilderness, the remembrance of it was to be preserved.
